Alexander's Hymns No. 4 ‎#18

18. Pilgrims of the Night, Awake!

1 Pilgrim of the night, awake!
Look! behold the coming dawn!
See the clouds the sky forsake,
All the shadows are withdrawn.

2 Pilgrim of the night, arise!
Lo, the land of springing flow’rs!
Past these desert sands it lies;
Haste to gain those welcome bow’rs.

3 Pilgrim of the night, away!
Yonder bursts the cooling fount;
Quench your thirst beneath that spray;
Drink, and mercy’s way recount.

4 Pilgrim of the night, so worn,
Tread this weary way no more;
Rest, that cometh in the morn,
Ye shall find on Canaan’s shore.
